Another (and final) update on my situation as an unpaid vendor from the Toronto Festival of Beer.

As mentioned before, Beerlicious Inc. has officially declared bankruptcy (filed April 13, 2026, with a trustee now assigned to the case).

If anyone wants to understand the full extent of the damage, you can view the official creditor documents here:

It clearly shows just how many businesses have been impacted and the scale of what’s owed.

This isn’t just affecting small businesses — it includes larger companies as well, which really highlights how widespread the issue is.

This isn’t one or two missed payments — it’s a significant number of vendors who delivered services and are still waiting to be paid.

There are also a TON of small beer and food vendors not even listed on this form that Les Murray owes money too. He just “lost” their invoices I guess.

I also posed some screen shots below of the vendors he owes plus the amounts of money

Lately, every time I use the subway there's always some person off their meds in the same car as me yelling and stinking up the place. It doesn't seem to matter what time of day it is either - 7am, 3pm, or whatever. Normally, it only happens from time to time, but lately it's been every. single. time. Did they recently shut down a mental health facility or something? Is anyone else seeing this or do I just have bad luck picking subway cars?

There’s a community centre that became a hotbed for drug use. They’re not geared towards this and are actually for marginalized communities. This wouldn’t be so much of an issue if this same community centre didn’t have a childcare centre at the first floor. It’s gotten so bad that some of the washrooms had to be closed off. They regularly find drug paraphernalia like needles and pipes in the washroom that is open to the public.

Kids and the community deserve better than that. I’m compassionate as hell but it’s kinda hard when you realize that small children are exposed to this shit on the daily.

I believe it was yesterday, I opened up the bin and smelled a very foul smell. I was putting in my organics bags in the green bin and noticed it there was a small dog poop bag that was on the bottom right. Luckily I caught it right away and tossed it out at a public bin. Don't do this on non trash pick-up days... It is incredibly rude and unsanitary. I get trash bins do smell but as someone who has never owned pets, I do not want the bags to burst or not be picked up.

Sometimes whenever the garbage workers come by and collect, the bags will stick to the bottom. Then that person whose bin you used has to deal with that in their bin for another week. Please don't be that person. If It's trash pick-up day then I'd understand more. But they put it in my bin 2-days before pick-up. I didn't want it to burst or stink up my bin so I dropped it off at a public bin. They allow us to drop it off at the park that has bins or public bins near the area.

It's also laziness because I live 2-minutes away from a park and the public bin is a min away. My mom thinks we're an easy target because it's just me and her living here. Every time she goes to work, she takes the car. So our house appears "empty". I'm considering moving my bins to my garage or behind the house because I left it on the side of our driveway. I don't want people to have easy access to it.

Thank you for the award!

Hi! Oh my god I’m going to jump off a cliff from the response I got from from 311 is so fucking annoying. Oh my god.

“Bylaw enforcement also does not have the ability to detain people to take further action with someone in a vehicle. If there is another noise matter you would like addressed please call 311 or go online to file another complaint.”

So..? Do I just suffer? The police told me to talk to 311 and 311 doesn’t cover.. noise complaints? So am I just supposed to deal with insane people blaring noise? I wish there was like a mafia for this sort of thing.

I did some volunteer work. Was told there was an opening for what I was essentially doing already. Job interview went well. Worked my ass off more than I would have. Was told that I didn’t “deliver what they expected” when they never told me what they expected. This was a new manager who is also doing some stuff that the other managers don’t and not in a good way. I’ve been at that place for a while, enough to know how things worked. Dude is the kind of person who wants to “shake things up” without asking why things are done that way and then gets surprised when people don’t like it.

I fucking suspended my job search for a month because of them. Fuck man. It’s also the sort of place where clients are very untrusting so new folks are deemed suspicious until proven otherwise. Clients are vulnerable and don’t want to see someone who obviously doesn’t know how to function in those spaces. It’s one thing to see it from a client’s perspective but a whole other from a jobseekers point of view.

I’m just so fucking tired of job hunting and going through multiple rounds of interviews with folks who don’t even know what they’re doing

First time encountered a coyote. I thought it’s a fox until it showed its full size and not being scared of me 💀 that shit was 2m away from me, thank god there’s a fence in between. Be careful out there - Biidaasige Park, but it was going towards distillery district via main cherry st road. Yes it’s a want it ruined my dogs evening walk 🙄

Walking by the church near U of T. Come closes to me and I just walk around him and smile thinking he is being funny!

He hits a pole with his hand and says “Fuck you” and I smile and say “Thank you” and he smiles back.

I start walking and I am like damn that was a good response and I wanted a memory and tried to capture the moment ha ha

He also started recording! To remember the greatest response he heard 😂

I wanted some drama lol

I can’t post the video here damn!
